So - as a long-time Caterham (ex-)Academy car owner, here are my initial thoughts:
i) The steering is way too light and lacking in feeling. And that's with a DD wheel! There should be some weight at all speeds and *loads* of feedback - but it just isn't there yet.
ii) H-pattern gearbox and foot-clutch work well and are realistic/intuitive. Flappy-paddles and hand-clutch (how I race most vehicles these days in Sim) are almost unusable.
iii) VR - no front wheels visible. Really?!?!? Did they even test this damned thing?
iv) Engine sounds come from engine bay only - in real life, you'll get some induction and engine sounds from there for sure - but you've got a side-exit exhaust right next to you that is silent in the sim!
v) That's it for now!
